Description

Irene Howat tells the stories of ten boys. Their faith shaped their lives and work as men. These Christian life stories are for children. The book links changes in each boy’s heart to his later aims. Each sought to change the world.

Augustin found God’s love and changed how he thought. Knox preached across his country. He took God’s word as his guide. Luther sought to share the truth he found with ordinary people. Calvin came to see that God gives salvation as a gift. Good deeds could not earn it.

Tyndale wanted to print the Bible in words all could grasp. Latimer urged people to read Scripture, though this made him enemies. Hus taught that God rules both the Church and the world. Zwingli urged people to follow Scripture in all parts of life.

Chalmers urged the Church to show Christ’s care for poor people. Shaftesbury called for acts to make Christ’s love real to all. Through these lives, Howat asks young readers to think. What might God call them to do?
